1 Kings 13
1 The Lord ordered a man of God from Judah to go to Bethel. He arrived just as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar about to present a burnt offering.
Moto moko na Nzambe alongwaki na Yuda mpe akendeki na Beteli, kolanda etinda na Yawe, wana Jeroboami atelemaki pembeni ya etumbelo mpo na kotumba ansa.
2 He shouted out the Lord's condemnation of the altar: “Altar, altar, this is what the Lord says. A son will be born to the house of David. His name will be Josiah, and on you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn offerings on you, and human bones will be burned on you.”
Kolanda etinda na Yawe, moto na Nzambe agangaki makasi mpo na kolakela etumbelo mabe: « Etumbelo, etumbelo! Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Mwana mobali moko akobotama na ndako ya Davidi, kombo na ye ekozala Joziasi. Akotumba na likolo na yo lokola mbeka banganga-nzambe ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, oyo batumbaka ansa na likolo na yo. Mpe na likolo na yo, etumbelo, bakotumba mikuwa ya bato! › »
3 The same day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “This is the sign to prove that the Lord has spoken. Look! The altar will be split apart, and the ashes on it will spill out.”
Na mokolo wana kaka, moto na Nzambe apesaki elembo: — Tala elembo oyo elakisi ete ezali Yawe nde alobi: Etumbelo ekobukana mpe putulu oyo ezali likolo na yango ekopanzana.
4 When King Jeroboam heard the condemnation the man of God had shouted out against the altar in Bethel, he pointed his hand at him and said, “Arrest him!” But the hand the king had pointed at him had become paralyzed and he couldn't draw it back.
Tango mokonzi Jeroboami ayokaki bilakeli mabe oyo moto na Nzambe alobaki mpo na etumbelo ya Beteli, asembolaki loboko na ye wuta na etumbelo mpe alobaki: — Bokanga ye! Kasi loboko oyo Jeroboami asembolaki epai ya moto na Nzambe ekawukaki, mpe akokaki lisusu te kozongisa yango epai na ye.
5 The altar split apart, and the ashes spilled out from it, fulfilling the sign that the man of God had given from the Lord.
Kaka na tango yango, etumbelo ebukanaki mpe putulu epanzanaki. Ezalaki penza elembo oyo moto na Nzambe apesaki kolanda etinda na Yawe.
6 Then the king said to the man of God, “Please plead with the Lord your God—pray for me that I may have my hand back!” The man of God pleaded with the Lord, and the king was given back the use of his hand as it was before.
Mokonzi alobaki na moto na Nzambe: — Bondela Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe sambela mpo na ngai ete loboko na ngai ebonga. Moto na Nzambe abondelaki Yawe, mpe loboko ya mokonzi ebongaki, ezongaki ndenge ezalaki liboso.
7 Then the king said to the man of God, “Come to my home and have a meal so I can give you a present.”
Bongo mokonzi alobaki na moto na Nzambe: — Tokende na ndako mpo ete ozwa eloko ya kolia mpe napesa yo kado.
8 But the man of God told the king, “Even if you gave me half of everything you own, I still wouldn't go with you. In fact I refuse to eat or drink anything in this place.
Kasi moto na Nzambe azongiselaki mokonzi: — Ata soki opesi ngai kati-kati ya bozwi na yo, nakokende epai na yo te, nakolia lipa te mpe nakomela ata litanga ya mayi te na esika oyo.
9 The Lord ordered me not to eat or drink anything, and not to return by the way I came.”
Pamba te Yawe apesaki ngai mitindo oyo: « Osengeli te kolia lipa, komela mayi mpe kozongela na nzela oyo oyelaki. »
10 So he went a different way—he did not return the way he had come to Bethel.
Boye, akendeki na nzela mosusu mpe azongaki te na nzela oyo ayelaki na Beteli.
11 It so happened that an old prophet lived in Bethel. His sons came and told him everything the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father what the man had said to the king.
Nzokande, mosakoli moko ya mobange azalaki kovanda na Beteli; bana na ye ya mibali bayaki koyebisa ye makambo nyonso oyo moto na Nzambe asalaki na Beteli, na mokolo wana, mpe oyo alobaki na mokonzi.
12 “Which way did he go?” their father asked them. So his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God from Judah.
Tata na bango atunaki bango: — Azongi na nzela nini? Bana na ye ya mibali balakisaki ye nzela oyo moto na Nzambe, oyo awutaki na Yuda, azongelaki.
13 “Saddle up a donkey for me,” he told his sons. They saddled up a donkey and he got on.
Bongo alobaki na bana na ye ya mibali: — Bobongisela ngai ane. Sima na bana na ye kobongisela ye ane, amataki likolo na yango,
14 He rode after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” he asked him. “Yes I am,” the man replied.
alandaki moto na Nzambe mpe akutaki ye avandi na se ya nzete ya Terebente. Atunaki ye: — Ozali solo moto na Nzambe oyo awuti na Yuda? Moto na Nzambe azongisaki: — Iyo, ezali nde ngai.
15 “Come home with me and have something to eat,” he told him.
Mosakoli alobaki na ye: — Yaka kolia mesa moko na ngai, na ndako na ngai.
16 “I can't turn around and go with you, and I won't eat or drink with you in this place,” the man of God replied.
Moto na Nzambe alobaki: — Nakoki te kozonga to kotambola nzela moko na yo; nakoki mpe te kolia lipa to komela mayi elongo na yo na esika oyo,
17 “The Lord ordered me, saying ‘You must not eat or drink anything there, or return by the way you came.’”
pamba te Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Osengeli te kolia lipa, komela mayi mpe kozongela na nzela oyo oyelaki. »
18 But the old prophet told him, “I am also a prophet, just like you. An angel told me God said, ‘Take him home with you so that he can have something to eat and drink’” But he was lying to him.
Mosakoli ya mobange azongisaki: — Ngai mpe nazali mosakoli lokola yo. Anjelu moko ya Yawe alobaki na ngai kolanda etinda na Yawe: « Zonga na ye nzela moko na ndako na yo mpo ete alia lipa mpe amela mayi. » Nzokande azalaki kokosa ye.
19 So the man of God went back with him, and ate and drank in his house.
Boye, moto na Nzambe azongaki nzela moko na ye na Beteli, aliaki mpe amelaki kati na ndako na ye.
20 As they were sitting at the table, a message from the Lord came to the prophet who had brought him back.
Wana bavandaki na mesa, Yawe alobaki na mosakoli ya mobange, oyo azongisaki moto na Nzambe,
21 He called out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord and have not followed the orders that the Lord your God gave you,
mpe agangelaki moto na Nzambe oyo awutaki na Yuda: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Mpo ete otosi te Liloba na Yawe mpe obateli te etinda oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, apesaki yo;
22 instead you went back and ate and drank in the place where he told you not to, your body will not be buried in the tomb of your fathers.”
mpo ete ozongi, olie lipa mpe omeli mayi na esika oyo napekisaki yo kolia to komela, bakokunda ebembe na yo te kati na kunda ya batata na yo. »
23 After the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the prophet who had brought him back saddled his own donkey for him.
Tango moto na Nzambe asilisaki kolia mpe komela, mosakoli ya mobange abongisaki ane ya moto na Nzambe oyo azongisaki sima,
24 But as he went on his way a lion came across him on the road and killed him. His body was left lying in the road, with both the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
mpe moto na Nzambe azongelaki nzela na ye. Wana azalaki kokende, akutanaki na nkosi na nzela, mpe nkosi yango ebomaki ye. Ebembe na ye etikalaki na nzela, nkosi mpe ane etelemaki pembeni ya ebembe na ye.
25 Some passers-by saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, so they went and let people know about it in the town where the old prophet lived.
Bato oyo bazalaki koleka bamonaki ebembe elali na nzela mpe nkosi etelemi pembeni na yango. Bakendeki kopesa sango kati na engumba epai wapi mosakoli ya mobange azalaki kovanda.
26 When the old prophet who had led the other astray heard what had happened, he said, “It's the man of God who disobeyed the Lord's orders. That's why the Lord put him in the path of the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, just as the Lord told him would happen.”
Tango mosakoli ya mobange, oyo azongisaki moto na Nzambe sima, na mobembo na ye, ayokaki sango yango, alobaki: — Ezali solo moto na Nzambe oyo atosaki te mitindo ya Yawe. Yawe akabi ye epai ya nkosi oyo epasoli ye mpe ebomi ye kolandisama na liloba oyo Yawe ayebisaki ye.
27 The prophet told his sons, “Saddle up a donkey for me.” So they saddled a donkey,
Mosakoli ya mobange alobaki na bana na ye ya mibali: — Bobongisela ngai ane! Bana na ye ya mibali babongiselaki ye ane yango.
28 and he went and found the body. It was still lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or attacked the donkey.
Abimaki mpe akutaki ebembe elali na nzela, ane mpe nkosi etelemi pembeni ya ebembe. Nkosi eliaki te ezala ebembe to ane.
29 The prophet picked up the body of the man of God, placed it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own town to mourn over him and bury him.
Mosakoli ya mobange atombolaki ebembe ya moto na Nzambe, atiaki yango na likolo ya ane mpe amemaki yango na engumba na ye mpo na kosalela ye matanga mpe kokunda ye.
30 He laid the body in his own tomb, and they mourned over him, crying, “My poor brother!”
Atiaki ebembe kati na kunda na ye moko mpe ayembelaki ye nzembo oyo ya mawa: — Ah, mawa, ndeko na ngai!
31 After he'd buried him, he told his sons, “When I die, bury me in the grave where the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
Sima na kokunda ye, alobaki na bana na ye ya mibali: — Tango nakokufa, bokokunda ngai kati na lilita epai wapi bakundi moto na Nzambe; bokotia mikuwa na ngai pembeni ya mikuwa na ye.
32 For the message from the Lord that he gave in condemnation against the altar in Bethel, and against all the shrines on the high places in the towns of Samaria, will definitely happen.”
Pamba te liloba oyo asakolaki kolanda etinda na Yawe mpo na kolakela mabe, etumbelo ya Beteli mpe bisambelo nyonso ya likolo ya bangomba kati na engumba Samari, ekokokisama solo.
33 But even after all this, Jeroboam did not change his evil ways. He went on choosing priests from all kinds of people. He appointed anyone who wanted to be a priest of the high places.
Atako bongo, Jeroboami atikaki te banzela na ye ya mabe, akobaki kaka kotia bato ya mboka na ye lokola banganga-nzambe ya bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba; abulisaki lokola nganga-nzambe ya esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba moto nyonso oyo alingaki kokoma nganga-nzambe.
34 This was because of this sin that the house of Jeroboam was wiped out, completely destroyed from the face of the earth.
Oyo nde ezalaki lisumu ya ndako ya Jeroboami, oyo ememaki kokweya mpe kobebisama ya bokonzi na ye kati na mokili.
